商品簡介
考慮到學生的知識結構以及課時安排,常曉梅主編的《西方文明簡史》將西方文明凝縮在十個章節中:近東文明、古希臘文明、古羅馬文明、中世紀文明、文藝復興、宗教改革、早期現代文明、政治革命與工業革命、歐洲現代主義、戰爭與西方社會新布局。每一章節都力求以歷史為綱,以文化信點點為目:從面上總賢一個時代,從點上洞悉其文化精髓。 另外,《西方文明簡史》在介紹西方文化的同時,注重對學習者語言實踐能力的培養,針對每一章內容設計了相關的練習題,既有考查對重要知識點的認知和熟記的練習題(第一、二題),也有鍛煉學習者簡單應用和綜合應用語言、獨立思考和分析問題能力的練習題(第三、四題),并附有答案,還有開闊視野,提高英語思辨能力的中西文化對比討論題(第五題),便于課堂使用及課后自主學習和檢測效果。

書摘/試閱
Language The Mycenaeans spoke an early form of Greek.Archaeologists have concluded that the Mycenaean rulers adopted the Linear'A script of the Minoans and transformed it to write their own language.This written language is called Linear B.Linear B was undecipherable until the code was cracked in 1952.
Art and Craftwork The Minoan culture of Crete had great influence on Mycenaean arts and crafts.Mycenaeans made great deal of pottery.There were various kinds of pottery products,including stirrup jars,pitchers,kraters,and chalices for example.Although pottery production developed quickly and large numbers of ceramic items were exported,these vessels' shapes remained almost unchanged during the whole Mycenaean period.The export products were luxurious,and they were designed with delicate decorations that incorporated myth,warrior,or animal themes.At Mycenaean sites,there was also another type of vessels made of metal.These metal objects were generally tripods,basins,or lamps.
Excavations at the Mycenaean site revealed that the statues of this period were mostly made of clay.Despite exquisite handicraft,the statues were small.The majority of these statuettes are anthropomorphic figurines,both male and female.They are painted,monochrome or polychrome.Although the purpose of these statues still remains vague,some researchers suggest they might be used in prayer because they were found in the places which appeared to be worship sites.Painting of the Mycenaean age was much influenced by the Minoan.Some mural paintings found in Mycenaean palaces represented different themes,such as tauromachy,battles,parades,and mythological stories.Other paintings are made up of geometric motifs.Some pottery was also painted (see above) with identical themes.
